The documentation regarding component limits does not clearly define what constitutes a valid component for counting towards the limit. It is also known, as noted in a related bug report, some hidden components (such as if/else blocks) are included in the count, which can lead to confusion.

Currently, when building an automation rule, there is no information available about the number of components used until you are close to exceeding the limit of 65 components. It would be helpful to display this information while constructing the automation rule so that users can better calculate and optimize their component usage.
